Nothing beats the novelty of a snack box, but a protein snack box? That’s a lifter’s idea of heaven.
As someone who’s constantly got an ear to the ground for anything high-protein (borderline obsession, really), I wasn’t about to miss this one.
When The Curators dropped a carefully curated lineup of their best-selling meaty treats in one anabolic package, I knew it had my name written all over it.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the aptly named Knock-Out Taster Box.
Free from the usual dull, dusty protein bars and generic snack balls, this box is all about bold flavours, serious macros, and snacks you’d actually want to eat – whether you’re bulking, cutting, or just want to feel a bit smug during your next snack break.
Inside? Expect a line-up that punches well above its weight: protein-packed pork puffs, full-bodied nibbles of cheese, and biltong so good it could convert a vegan (okay, maybe not quite – but close).
Armed with code GYMFLUENCERSAGENCY for 20% off, I locked in my order and waited at the door like a loyal Labrador, counting down the seconds until snack time.
Here’s my honest review.
The Curators’ Protein Snack Box: What You Get
Before we dive into the review, let’s quickly run through what you can expect from this protein snack box – and get you up to speed on The Curators.
In a market saturated with near-identical protein shakes and bars, The Curators was founded on a mission to bring something genuinely fresh to the snacking table.
And honestly? It couldn’t have come at a better time. As someone who consumes a lot of protein (like, Olympic village levels), everything was starting to feel a bit like “you can copy my homework, just make it look different.”
Instead of cloning what’s already been done to death, The Curators chose to supercharge savoury – reimagining a whole lineup of classic, often unhealthy snacks into high-protein, low-carb, unbelievably moreish alternatives.
Which brings us neatly to the Knock-Out Taster Box. Inside this nutrient-dense care package, you’ll find:
- 2 x Original Beef Biltong – Perfectly seasoned strips of British and Irish grass-fed beef, delivering 14g of quality protein and just 70 calories per serving.
- 2 x Original Salted Pork Puffs – Premium pork rind, hot-flashed to deliver the crunch of a crisp with the macros of a protein bar.
- 2 x Smoky Bacon Pork Puffs – That same protein-packed pork rind, this time dusted in the flavour of your childhood packed lunches.
- 2 x Cheesies Cheddar – Bite-sized chunks of real cheddar cheese, baked until golden and crunchy. That’s literally it – simple, punchy, umami goodness.
Reviewing the Protein Snack Box
I often find myself scrambling for extra protein in a last-ditch effort to hit my macros. Call it poor planning, chaotic energy – whatever you like – but I know I’m not alone.
In moments like these, I usually cobble together a Frankenstein plate of cupboard scraps and wash it down with a protein shake.
Let me tell you: a can of tuna, a bagel, and a shake is peak boy dinner.
So, my motivation for diving into this protein snack box review was two-fold:
1) I love snacks.
2) Could I solve my macro woes by snacking little and often throughout the day?
I knew the answer to the second question without even tucking into the first snack. Take the Pork Puffs, for example. The Original Salted flavour packs 19g of protein, no carbs, and 133 calories. In a bag of crisps? That’s insane.
Over the next few days, I just crunched my way through a bag with lunch and – hey presto, I was already well on my way to the promised land of protein.
The Cheesies are the lightest on protein of the bunch at 8g, which is still nothing to be sniffed at. But do you know what the best part of this protein snack box was? It didn’t feel like a chore.
I find sticking to a high-protein diet can often lead you down the dangerous path of losing enjoyment. You become a drone, eating because you have to, not because you want to. Hence my chaotic late-night concoctions.
Every single offering in this protein snack box brought back that joy with every bite. The Pork Puffs? Unbelievably moreish. The Biltong? Seasoned to the gods.
And don’t even get me started on those Cheesies. If I could dive into a ball pit full of them, I would. The Curators, your Knock-Out Taster Box is exactly as described – a knockout.
Pricing it Up
No protein snack box review would be complete without weighing up value for money. The Knock-Out contains eight snacks, over 100g of protein, and is priced at £14.99.
Crunching the numbers, that boils down to roughly £1.87 a snack. Considering you’re getting quality bites of beef, pork, and cheese, that still works out cheaper than most supermarket protein bars.
Would I say it’s worth the dosh? Yes – without hesitation.
If you’re looking to bring some spice back to your life, or even surprise your gym-addicted partner with the gift of gains, this protein snack box delivers a knockout punch.
